Aluminum vs Fiberglass landing gear - Pro's and cons. by
Bart Hull
I'm in the process of building a Team Tango (similar to a Glasair IIFG) and have
a few thoughts about the landing gear. The earlier kits had fiberglass "legs"
and the newer kits have aluminum legs.
I flew in a Tango with the aluminum gear and it seemed quite harsh on landing. I
know aluminum gear...

I went to their website and on the forum page, it says they are moving to
the Midwest. Anyone know where or if that means they are out of business?

Rear engine in a crash question by
BernadetteTS
I've been reading through the BD-5 thread and have a question.
I guess this is an opinion thread but what happens to a rear engine
mounted directly behind the pilot in a crash? In something like an
ultralight, BD-5, Cutiss pusher or Vari-EZ does an engine have a
tendency to rip loose and go...

Tail flutter! by
I Can Computer Services
I presume you are all familiar with the Quicksilver GT500. Those who have
flown one will no doubt be aware of the in flight trim and how it works. I
am designing a small single seater. I too would love this in flight trim
assembly on mine. This would involve having a single strut connection on
each...

I was thinking to run 4" long gussets back to the original attachment
point, creating a C shaped...

Lift-to-Drag Ratio? by
Toks Desalu
Guys-
If we have higher L/D, we need higher thrust to maintain lift equal
weight. Am I reading this correctly? In this case, you would need higher
horsepower?

Correcting Poly-Brush mistake by
Craig Foster
I applied the first coat of Poly-Brush on a little more than half of my
fuselage (experimental homebuilt) before I realized I had not stirred the
can of Poly-Brush before using. Once the contents from the bottom were
stirred up the coating was definitely a darker shade of pink. Is this going

New Gasair by

Fast glass biplanes by
Jay
Apart from the Quickie group of planes why aren't there more fast
biplanes? The quickies aren't exactly biplanes I know. It would
appear that 2 short wings can be built lighter than one long one since

used because of drag, just...

Has anyone put a fuel-injection system on an O-200? If so, what are the
